Redistributing the SFML 2.0 Download with Binaries

[Xander314]

Some viewers of my blog and YouTube channel asked me if I could upload prebuilt SFML 2.0 binaries. What I was intending to do was upload the complete SFML 2.0 source from GitHub, but with the binaries added.

Having read SFML's license, it looks like I can do this, provided I leave the license.txt file in there. However, it would mean that I was also distributing binaries for OpenAL, libsndfile, FreeType, etc.

For example, GLEW is under the 2 clause BSD license which requires a copyright notice to be distributed with its binary. However, I could not find such a license. Laurent, how have you got around this when distributing the files with SFML? Do the license bits in the top of the extlibs/ header files suffice?

EDIT: Also, you say that SFML uses libpng, zlib, stb_vorbis and SOIL. There are no binaries or headers for any of these. Are they already linked to other external library binaries?

you must usually include the license when you distribute the sources, not the binaries.
But to be sure I could simply add a link to each library's license in the license.txt file (no need to copy the entire licences texts).

SFML 2 doesn't use them anymore (look at license.txt file for an updated view of the external libraries).
